Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging laminate comprising a core layer of paper or carton with through-going holes, openings or slits, a layer of thermoplastics applied onto one outer side of the core layer, an aluminium foil applied onto the other, inner, side of the core layer, extending throughout the laminate, and bonded to the core layer by means of an intermediate layer of thermoplastics, the two layers of thermoplastics both extending throughout the laminate and being sealed to each other within the regions of the holes to form a membrane of aluminium foil and thermoplastics, and one or more layers of thermoplastics applied onto the other, inner, side of the aluminium foil.
  • Packaging containers of the single use disposable type for liquid foods are often produced from a packaging material of the type mentioned above.
  • One such commonly occuring packaging container is marketed under the trademark Tetra Brik Aseptic® and is principally employed for liquid foods such as milk, fruit juice etc.
  • the packaging material in this known packaging container typically comprises a core layer of paper or paperboard and outer, liquid-tight layers of thermoplastics.
  • the material in these packaging containers is normally provided with at least one additional layer, most commonly an aluminium foil, which moreover renders the packaging material thermosealable by inductive thermosealing which is a rapid and efficient sealing technique for obtaining mechanically strong, liquid- and gas-tight sealing joints or seams during the production of the containers.
  • Packaging containers are generally produced by means of modern packaging machines of the type which form, fill and seal packages from a web or from prefabricated blanks of packaging material. From, for example, a web, packaging containers are produced in that the web is reformed into a tube by both of the longitudinal edges of the web being united to one another in an overlap joint. The tube is filled with the intended liquid food product and is divided into individual packages by repeated transversal seals of the tube at a distance from one another below the level of the contents in the tube. The packages are separated from the tube by incisions in the transverse seals and are given the desired geometric configuration, normally parallelepipedic, by fold formation along prepared crease lines in the packaging material.
  • EP-A-1342567 a packaging laminate of inter alia the same layer configuration is described, however, without the feature of a pre-punched hole In the paper carton core layer and without describing the complex problem of openability versus adhesion and internal mechanical strength of the full membrane (also including aluminium foil) in the hole. That application was filed before the present application, but not published until after the filing date of the present application.
  • packaging laminates for this kind of packages usually have an innermost, inside thermoplastic heat sealing layer, most commonly of a low density polyethylene (LDPE), which normally has adequate properties for heat sealing and for the function of moisture barrier towards the filled liquid contents of the package.
  • LDPE low density polyethylene
  • innermost or inside layer is meant a layer which is applied on the side of the packaging laminate facing towards the inside of a packaging container formed from the laminate, and which will be in contact with the filled contents of a filled packaging container.
  • the packaging container be easy to handle and easy to open when it is time to empty the package of its contents, and in order to satisfy this need, the packaging container is often provided with some type of opening arrangement, with the aid of which it may readily be opened without the need to employ scissors or other implements.
  • a commonly occurring opening arrangement in such packaging containers includes a hole punched in the core layer of the package wall, the hole being covered on the inside and outside of the package wall, by the respective outer layers of the packaging wall which are sealed to one another in the region of the opening contour of the through-going hole, thus forming a membrane of the layers not being paperboard.
  • One example of a prior art opening arrangement has a separate pull-tab or opening strip which is applied over the hole and which is rupturably sealed to the outer layer of the outside of the package wall along a sealing joint around the entire opening contour of the hole and at the same time permanently sealed to the outer layer in the region inside the opening contour of the hole.
  • an opening device usually of moulded plastics, having a pouring spout and a screw top for resealing, is applied onto the region of and around the hole, which opening device is designed to penetrate or remove the membrane within the hole region by a pushing-down or screwing-down movement or, alternatively, to remove the membrane by a screwing- and/ or pulling-up movement of the opening device.
  • the inside of a screwable part of the opening device is adhered to the membrane of the hole, in such a way that when it is screwed upwards away from the packaging wall, the membrane is lifted along with the screwable part and torn away from the edges of the hole, leaving a practically clean-cut hole for pouring the filled contents out of the package.
  • the latter kind of opening arrangement may function similarly to a screw top of a bottle and is often desirable, since it avoids pushing residues of the membrane down through the hole into the package and the filled product.
  • a precondition for such an opening arrangement to function efficiently and expediently is that, there is adequate adhesion between the different layers of the membrane such that it does not delaminate when screwing- and/ or pulling-up forces, or forces of screwing and/ or pushing-down, are applied to it during the opening operation.
  • the thickness variations of the core layer may cause that the aluminium foil, which is relatively thin, will not be pressed against and adhered sufficiently well to the surrounding layers of thermoplastics within the whole of the region defined by the hole, which means that air may be entrapped adjacent to the edges of the holes.
  • This in turn means that there may be fracture formations in the aluminium foil, which may lead to the gas-tightness of the packaging container being impaired and thereby also the colour, taste and nutritional values of the packaged food product.
  • the integrity of the package may be impaired, which in turn may disturb the aseptic performance of the package.
  • the air inclusions also result in it being difficult to tear off or penetrate the membrane consisting of the aluminium foil and the polymeric films in the hole or slit, with the ability to open the packaging being restricted and/or with it not being possible to make a clean cut when penetrating, resulting in the formation of frayed edges.
  • a press roller comprising a metal core with a circular-cylindrical jacket surface, which jacket surface is faced with an inner facing layer consisting of an elastic material, having a first hardness and a first thickness, and arranged on the outside of the inner facing layer, an outer facing layer consisting of an elastic material, having a second hardness and a a second thickness, with the first hardness being greater than the second hardness and with the first thickness being greater than the second thickness.
  • the first hardness is at least 15 % greater, more preferably 20 % and most preferably 25 % greater, than the second hardness, calculated in Shore A, with the outer facing layer exhibiting a hardness of 50-80 Shore A, preferably 60-75 Shore A.
  • the second thickness constitutes 5-25 %, more preferably 7-20 % and most preferably 8-15 %, of the total of the first thickness and the second thickness.
  • the second thickness is 1-10 mm, more preferably 1-5 mm and most preferably 1-3 mm.
  • the inner and outer facing layers may be made of the same or different elastomeric materials, such as for example rubber or polyurethane materials.
  • the described press roller should be used in at least one of the lamination station for the inside layers and/or the lamination station for the aluminium foil and the intermediate bonding layer. It may also be used in the lamination of the thermoplastic layer on the outside of the core paperboard layer.
  • an innermost heat sealing layer of LDPE usually is bonded to the aluminium foil by means of a bonding layer of an adhesive polymer, such as for example a graft modified polyolefin or a copolymer of ethylene and (meth)acrylic acid or a ionomer.
  • an adhesive polymer such as for example a graft modified polyolefin or a copolymer of ethylene and (meth)acrylic acid or a ionomer.
  • m-PE metallocene polyethylenes
  • m-LLDPE linear low density polyethylenes
  • Metallocene-polymerised polyethylenes generally have desirable properties like improved tear and puncture resistance, toughness, impact strength, clarity, antiblocking properties and heat sealing performance compared to that of ordinary LDPE. In the manufacturing of packaging containers it would therefore be highly desirable to be able to use m-PE in the innermost sealing layer in order to improve package integrity and sealability properties.
  • package integrity is generally meant the package durability, i.e. the resistance to leakage of the packaging container.
  • This is tested in a first step by measuring the electrical conductivity through the packaging laminate of the package in order to indicate if there is any kind of hole or crack in the inside thermoplastic layer(s).
  • the size and shape of the hole or crack is studied further by immersing the packaging laminate into a red ink solution, whereby the paperboard core layer will be coloured in red at and around the hole or crack. The result is reported in number of containers with leakages out of 3000 tested packages.
  • test result does not automatically mean that the containers would actually be leaking out the filled contents, because the test method is more severe and shows very fine cracks and holes that would perhaps not normally cause problems in real, daily storage and use.
  • m-PE in the innermost sealing layer instead of LDPE, the package integrity is at least equally reliable even when employing thinner layers of the m-PE than the LDPE.
  • sealability properties are meant the ability to heat seal appropriately within a temperature interval or interval of power supply.
  • a temperature interval or interval of power supply There, are for example three heat seals in a normal parallellepipedic packaging container of the Tetra Brik Aseptic® type, i.e. the seal transversally of the tube, the longitudinal overlapping seal along the tube and the seal of the longitudinal strip over and along the longitudinal seal on the inside of the tube.
  • the transversal seal involves the double thickness of the packaging laminate and demands the highest power for sealing. It has generally been seen that the "window" or interval of temperatures and power supply within which adequate sealing is performed is greater for an m-PE than for normal LDPE heat sealing inside layers.
  • thermoplastics in the above-described packaging laminate from the traditional LDPE to a layer comprising an m-PE in the majority, heat sealability properties as well as package integrity may be improved or, alternatively, maintained at lower amounts of heat sealable polymer.
  • a packaging laminate comprising a core layer of paper or carton with through-going holes, openings or slits, a layer of thermoplastics applied onto one outer side of the core layer, an aluminium foil applied onto the other, inner, side of the core layer, extending throughout the laminate, and bonded to the core layer by means of an intermediate layer of thermoplastics, the two layers of thermoplastics both extending throughout the laminate and being sealed to each other within the regions of the holes to form a membrane of aluminium foil and thermoplastics, and a layer of one or more thermoplastic materials applied onto the other, inner, side of the aluminium foil, wherein the layer of one or more thermoplastic materials consists of three part-layers, being a first adhesive part-layer applied onto the aluminium foil, a second intermediate part-layer of low density polyethylene (LDPE), and a third innermost part-layer comprising in the majority an ethylene - ⁇ -olefin copoly
  • LDPE low density polyethylene
  • a packaging laminate having an inside structure comprising three part-layers respectively comprising adhesive polymer, LDPE and m-PE in this order, an improvement in sealability and package integrity qualities is obtained as well as required openability properties, for the purpose of a packaging container having an opening arrangement, which at opening removes the membrane of laminated layers of aluminium foil and thermoplastics from the region of a hole in the core layer, made previous to lamination.
  • Such a packaging laminate is especially suitable for the aseptic packaging of milk and other foodstuffs.
  • thermoplastic structure inside of the aluminium foil consists of a first layer of an adhesive polymer and a second innermost layer of either LDPE or m-PE
  • the m-PE variant left clearly more residues of the membrane within the region of the hole, while the LDPE variant resulted in a good clean-cut opened hole.
  • the inventors thus developed a theory that it is important to assure that the weakest point of the membrane at opening will not be at an interface between the layers of the membrane.
  • the force needed to break loose the membrane from the packaging laminate around the edges of the hole should not be higher than the adhesion force between the layers, especially between the adhesive layer and the aluminium foil, since this has often shown to be the weakest point during the development work in connection with the invention.
  • In order to move the weakest point away from this interface between layers mainly two considerations are believed to be of importance.
  • the adhesion force between the aluminium foil and the layer of adhesive polymer should be above a certain level, why it, for example, also has been seen that it is necessary to employ a layer of an adhesive polymer for the contact with the aluminium foil, which measure however, not is sufficient in itself.
  • the choice of adhesive polymer may play a role of course, in addition to other ways of increasing the adhesion.
  • the force needed to tear the membrane away from the packaging laminate around the edges of the hole should be balanced against the above adhesion force, i.e. the strength of the sealing layer (LDPE/m-PE), along the plane of the layer in the packaging laminate around the edges of the hole, should be below a certain level in relation to the adhesion strength between aluminium foil and adhesive layer.
  • the strength of the sealing layer LDPE/m-PE
  • a packaging laminate having a two-layer inside structure was comparable to a packaging laminate having a three-layer inside structure.
  • the packaging laminates had the structure of an outer layer of 16 g/m 2 of LDPE, a paperboard core layer, an intermediate bonding layer of 23 g/m 2 of an LDPE, an aluminium foil, and the inside structure.
  • the two-layer inside structure had a layer of 6 g/m 2 of an adhesive ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer applied onto the aluminium foil and an innermost layer comprising m-PE in a quantity of 20 g/m 2 applied next to the adhesive layer.
  • the three-layer inside structure had a layer of 6 g/m 2 of an adhesive ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer applied onto the aluminium foil, an intermediate layer of 10 g/m 2 of LDPE and an innermost layer comprising m-PE in a quantity of 10 g/m 2 applied next to the intermediate layer.
  • the results showed a remarkable improvement for the three-layer variant in openability of a screw-top opening device of the kind that removes the membrane by a combined screwing-up and pulling-up motion. From the two-layer inside packaging laminate, almost all the packages opened at room temperature showed delaminations between the aluminium foil and the adhesive layer. The result was about the same at refrigerator temperature.
  • the problem that the present invention intends to solve is that, for the long time packaging and storage of more aggressive or acidic foodstuffs, like for example fruit juices, the adhesion between the layers will be reduced during time, due to the migration of free fatty acids through the inside layers of thermoplastic material from the filled product into the interface between the aluminium foil and the adjacent layer of adhesive polymer. Even though the adhesion will be high initially when the packaging container is first made and filled, the adhesion between the aluminium foil and the adjacent layer of adhesive polymer as well as the openability of the packaging container will be considerably reduced after a longer time period such as a few months or a year.
  • long-term storage such a long time that an aseptic packaging container filled with fruit juice, normally should be able to be stored at ambient temperature, before the fruit juice has lost its nutritional value and taste. Normally this time is at least 6 months, preferably at least one year.
  • One object of the invention is to provide a packaging laminate with improved sealability, having a core layer with punched holes, openings or slits, which provides good openability of a packaging container used for long-term storage of fruit juice, and is suitable for an opening device which is to be arranged to remove the membrane of laminated layers of aluminium foil and thermoplastics from the region of the punched hole in the core layer at the opening operation.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a packaging laminate, having improved sealability properties, for the purpose of manufacturing an aseptic, gas-tight packaging container, suitable for the long-term storage of fruit juice, having improved or maintained package integrity, and suitable for an opening device, which is arranged to remove the membrane of laminated layers of aluminium foil and thermoplastics from the region of the punched hole in the core layer at the opening operation.
  • a particular object of the invention is to provide such a packaging laminate, which when used for packaging of fruit juices or the like, has improved retention of the adhesion between the aluminium foil and the adjacent layer of adhesive polymer applied on the inner side of the aluminium foil.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a packaging laminate exhibiting a barrier towards the migration of free fatty acids from the filled contents of the package into the packaging laminate and the interface between the aluminium foil and the adjacent layer of adhesive polymer.

  • Preferred and advantageous embodiments of the method according to the invention have the characterizing features as set forth in the appended sub-claims 11-15.
  • the part-layers of the inside structure described above are applied onto the other, inner, side of the aluminium foil by means of co-extrusion coating of the layers in one process step. It would probably also be possible to extrude the adhesive and intermediate part-layers together, while the thin innermost part-layer is extrusion coated onto the intermediate part-layer in a separate step.
  • co-extrusion coating of all three layers simultaneously. Besides the obvious advantages of process simplicity, i.e.
  • one extrusion coating process step instead of two, and increased stability of the extruded melt film by the respective part-layers supporting each other, there is also an important advantage in that the temperature of the extruded melts will be kept higher until the melt film reaches the substrate aluminium foil, which in turn appears to improve the adhesion between the adhesive part-layer and the foil. It is believed that the heat from the melt film of the intermediate part-layer is transferred to the adhesive part-layer, or the heat of the adhesive part-layer is better preserved during transport through the air gap due to the higher melt temperature of the intermediate part-layer. It was previously known that a polyethylene layer being extrusion coated onto an aluminium foil would gain better adhesion towards the foil, the higher the extrusion temperature is.
  • the intermediate part-layer is extruded at a higher temperature than the adhesive part-layer and the innermost part-layer.
  • heat will be transferred from the intermediate part-layer to the first adhesive part-layer and the effect above will be increased further.
  • the innermost, part-layer should be extruded at a temperature as low as possible in order to avoid that possible trace substances from polymer degradation, due to high temperature influence on the polymer melt, are released and migrating into the filled contents of the package, i.e. to avoid so called problems of "off-taste" of the filled food product.
  • the adhesive part-layer comprising an adhesive polymer, as well as the innermost part-layer comprising an m-PE in the majority is extruded at the lower temperature of 260 - 280 °C, which is the temperature of the melt in the extruder. This temperature does not degrade the respective polymer melts and has proved to be an optimal temperature for still obtaining good adhesion to the surrounding layers.
  • the intermediate part-layer comprising a material providing barrier properties towards migration of free fatty acids is co-extruded with the adhesive part-layer and the innermost part-layer being at a higher temperature of 285 -300 °C, preferably at 300 °C. At this temperature settings, an improved adhesion between the aluminium foil and the adhesive layer as well as improved openability, may be observed.
  • the aluminium foil is subjected to a surface activation treatment by means of flame treatment before it is coated with the inner part-layers.
  • a surface activation treatment by means of flame treatment before it is coated with the inner part-layers.
  • a packaging container for long-term storage of fruit juice manufactured from the packaging laminate of the invention, having an optimized balance of openability properties against package integrity and seal quality, as specified in claims 16-18.

  • the core layer is provided with going-through holes, opening or slits for the purpose of applying opening arrangements on the packages manufactured from the packaging laminate.

  • a first adhesive part-layer 15-1 comprising an adhesive polymer is arranged to contact the aluminium foil and provide sufficient adhesion between the aluminium foil and a second intermediate part-layer 15-2 comprising a material providing barrier properties towards migration of free fatty acids, and a third innermost part-layer 15-3, comprising in the majority an ethylene-alpha-olefin, polymerised in the presence of a single site, metallocene, catalyst (m-PE), is applied next to the intermediate part-layer.
  • m-PE metallocene, catalyst
  • All of the layers 12, 13, 14 and 15-1,2,3 are extending throughout the laminate and thus covering also the regions of the holes, on both sides of the core layer.
  • the adhesive polymer is preferably a maleic-anhydride graft modified linear low density polyethylene (MAH-g-LLDPE).
  • MAH-g-LLDPE maleic-anhydride graft modified linear low density polyethylene
  • the innermost part-layer preferably consists of a blend of 60-70 weight-% of m-LLDPE and 30-40 weight-% of LDPE.
  • a web of a paperboard core layer 21 is led forward through a punching station 22, where the paperboard is provided with holes for the purpose of later applied opening arrangements on the packages.
  • the holed web 21' is further led forward to a lamination station 25 wherein a web of aluminium foil 23 is laminated to one side of the paperboard by extruding, from an extruder 24, an intermediate bonding layer comprising a material providing barrier properties towards migration of free fatty acids, between the paperboard web and the web of aluminium foil.
  • the core layer and the aluminium foil are pressed together in a roller nip , thus, becoming a laminate of paperboard and aluminium foil 26.
  • the laminate 26, is led forward to the next lamination station 28, where the innermost structure of thermoplastic part-layers 15 is applied by means of co-extrusion coating onto the aluminium side of the laminate 26.
  • the part-layers 15-1, 15-2 and 15-3 are fed from a respective extruder into a co-extrusion arrangement, preferably a feed block 27, to be formed through a die into a multi-layer melt film to be coated onto the substrate, i.e. the aluminium side of the laminate 26, pressed and cooled in a roller nip 28, thus forming the laminate coated with the heat-sealable thermoplastics on the inner side.
  • the holed paperboard core web 21' may be coated with an outer layer of thermoplastics on its other, outer, side, by extrusion coating (not shown) before the step of lamination to aluminium foil at 25, or after the step of extrusion coating 28 of the innermost side part-layers, or between these process steps.
  • a double-acting pressure roller may be used at all lamination stations 25, 28 and at the lamination of the outer layer on the outside of the core layer, in combination with a rather high nip pressure, in order to achieve optimal adhesion between the laminate layers of the membranes within the regions of the holes and avoiding air entrapments between the layers close to the edges around the holes.
  • the surface of the aluminium foil is activated by means of a flame treatment 29, before it is coated with the inside layers of thermoplastics 15, at 27.
  • a packaging laminate with an innermost three part-layer structure having 7 g/m 2 of the adhesive polymer, 18 g/m 2 of the intermediate LDPE and 10 g/m 2 of the innermost part-layer comprising m-PE in the majority, was produced by extrusion coating with, and without, a preceding flame treatment of the aluminium foil inside.
  • preceding flame treatment the adhesion force between the aluminium foil and the first adhesive part-layer was higher than without flame treatment.
  • packages manufactured from the laminate and equipped with the screwing-up/pulling-up type of opening arrangements there were very few remarks on the openability, which moreover were merely aesthetical. Without the preceding flame treatment, there were some more residues of the membrane observed in the hole.
